The Pleasant is named after the local Pleasant River. It is tucked in a stand of evergreens and maples within the128 acre property. Chandler Brook runs through the back of the lot and meanders through a large marshland. Guests enter the front door with a key code provided before check in. The side door gives access to the trash bin andleads to the short, lit path to the outhouse.
Inside the yurt you will find a kitchenette complete with a draining sink, insulated Stanley water jug, propane camp cook stove, enameled dinnerware set, Stanley cookware and french press, silverware, and serving utensils. It is fully furnished with a bar table, 6 barstools, couch, 2 arm chairs, coffee table, and a timber frame loft area! The loft area has a lower queen bed and an upper queen bed. *Note* bedding is not provided. Up to two dogs are welcomed with a pet fee of $20/night per dog. Doggy bags are provided for pet clean up and are located at the front door. Ample hooks are placed throughout the yurt for hanging jackets and drying wet gloves and hats near the propane fireplace. The yurt is equipped with a small solar system that powers the 12v LED lights and 4 USB outlets for charging phones, laptops, and iPads. *Note* guests should bring any adapters needed to plug into USB ports. A guest binder inside offers instructions for the solar power, stoves, a site map, and Bethel area dining and activities guides. Outside, 4 adirondack chairs are placed under strings of lights along the stone seating area. Solo Bonfire stoves are available for outdoor fires year round. Stacks of firewood, baskets of fire starter and kindling, and cast iron fireplace tools are included at no extra fee!
In addition to the outhouse, guests have access to the centrally located bathhouse. A boardwalk and short trail offer a walking path to the bathhouse.The interior of the rustic/farmhouse style bathhouse feels warm and inviting. Stained concrete floors are throughout and guests will enjoy the radiant heat on their bare feet when getting out of the shower. The bathhouse has large rustic tub sinks for washing dishes and filling the water jug provided in each yurt. It houses a ladies' and gent's side, each with 2 private hot showers and 2 toilet stalls. There is a handicap accessible toilet stall available in both bathrooms.
Guests will enjoy the surrounding forest and trails that we are continuing to expand. Our primary goal at Western Maine Yurts is to provide our guests with a four-season lodging option that is as connected to nature as possible. We aim to give a more luxurious and convenient camping/glamping experience where you can enjoy a hot shower after a day of outdoor activities. We hope you will pause to listen to the rain on the roof, birds singing in the morning, and the breeze blowing in the trees. Enjoy a cozy cuddle on the couch with your favorite drink. And get out and explore all the Western Maine and the Bethel area have to offer!

The stay was awesome, and the yurts were super cool and well-kept with tons of info about the area, and the yurt itself was great, plus the heating system was spot on, so overall the stay was top-notch.
Thank you!
This was our fifth time booking. The yurts are our favorite weekend getaway. Yurts and bathrooms are always clean. They have plenty of recommendations for things to do. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much! We love having you back each time.
The pleasant was spotless, Tricia was unbelievably kind, and the entire property was gorgeous! We were pleasantly surprised every step of the way and I highly recommend.
This was our first time staying in a yurt and we were not disappointed! The yurt had everything we needed and them some. The bed was comfortable and cozy, the stove provided just the right amount of heat, and the fire pit was perfect for sitting under the stars. Western Maine Yurts is close to great restaurants, hiking, and Sunday River. We are already dreaming about our next visit.
We love Western Maine Yurts. The property is well maintained and the yurts are so comfortable and cozy. You can’t beat the location, close to town and outdoor activities. This is the only place we consider staying when we visit the Bethel area.
Thank you! We look forward to having you back again!
We'd always wanted to try out staying in a yurt and we wren't disappointed. These are very clean yurts, there were clear, easy to follow instructions for everything, and the bathhouse was also clean and tidy with plenty of hot water. The yurt heated up quickly and was insulated well. Nice fire pit and French press coffee maker. Close to all of Bethel's outdoor amenities, restaurants, skiing, etc. Would definitely stay here again!
Thank you! We hope to have you back!
We had a perfect weekend staying in The Pleasant Yurt at Western Maine Yurts. Everything was so clean and very obviously cared for. We are typically tent campers so we came prepared but they have truly thought of everything and provided all we needed! It was such a treat! It was the perfect oasis after a day of skiing! The bathhouse was very nice and clean and having a separate outhouse close by was excellent. We will absolutely be back!
What a fantastic experience...My family stayed at The Pleasant, with our two young kids and two dogs, and it was such a wonderful experience. The yurt interior is so welcoming, my children wanted to stay much longer and were soooo excited to stay there. Everything was immaculately, thoughtfully, and stylishly done, and we really appreciated how clean and neat the bathhouse and outhouse were. Highly recommend, good for all seasons.
Thanks so much! We hope you will be back again!
We had an amazing weekend staying in the Pleasant Yurt at Western Maine Yurts. Everything was very organized, clean and easy. The bathhouse was fantastic and we are definitely planning to stay again in the near future. 5 stars!!
Thank you! Can't wait to have you back!
Myself, boyfriend & daughter stayed at The Pleasant during 4th of July weekend, from 7/2-7/6. The location is quiet, peaceful, with nearby outdoor activities including lovely walking trails on-site. The yurt was beautifully decorated & comfortable, a “home-away-from-home” & an experience that is just the right blend of glamping and camping. The nearby bathhouse was such a convenience, with cold and hot running water, showers, and toilets— especially with a young child! It was nice to also have the outhouse (cleanest one I have EVER seen) closer to our site for those middle-of-the-night bathroom trips. The owner/operators are amazing & answered questions promptly, and even let us add a night last minute! Thank you Western Maine Yurts; we truly had the most amazing time at The Pleasant!
Thank you! We can't wait to host you again!
